I DREAD my bath, and unfortunatly my dad has pretty bad allergies that make him itch and break out all red and blochy if I dont get a weekly bath. As soon as I hear Mom turn on the tub and take a glass into the bathroom I know I'm done for! First I make her chase me all around the house until she catches me, then once she gets me in the bathtub I make several attempts to jump over her head to get out and i huddle in the back where she cant get to me. She doesnt seem to know why I hate it so much, and she says I almost act like taking a bath hurts! Anyone else dislike getting clean as much as I do? What do your parents do to make your bath more enjoyable?? I think my mom could use some suggestions!!

my mom found out I was not to swelll on bath BUT I love to go where ever mom goes so......I love love showers! Yep I will jump in the shower with her LOL about every other week I get the extras, shampoo etc. but everyday I jump in and sit at the end of the shower...see if may be the pup would enjoy that?

My mom tried the shower with her thing, and it works ok, but I have to be held the whole time which can be a bit much! I'm not happy out of the shower when she's in it but i dont want to get wet either!! I just plain dont like water!! In fact if its raining or snowing too hard I'm prone to boycott peeing all together until it stops or as long as I possably can! Thanks for the suggestion tho!

HAHA daisy my mommy and i read your bathstory, and it sounds just about like ours!!! =) lol At least you dont have to get one very often I bet! I get them all the time (well about weekly) cuz otherwise i make my daddy itchy. Well glad to hear that I'm not the only one who hates baths!!!

I don't really hate it, BUT that is not my fav. moment either. Oh, well, I love to go whereever my dad goes, so I most of the time shower with him. Mom hates to smell the stinky me so dad makes sure I smell nice and clean. He even sometime put a couple drop of dog cologne on my neck. Yea, baby! Now, I'm nice and handsome!!!
